What happens

Izzatdaar (Hindi: इज़्ज़तदार) (transl. honourable) is a 1990 Indian Hindi-language film starring Dilip Kumar, Govinda, Madhuri Dixit, Bharathi, Anupam Kher, Shafi Inamdar and South Indian actor Raghuvaran in his Bollywood film debut. The film, one of K. Bapaiah’s last directorial efforts, was described as ”an attempt to capture the painful moral decline in society vis-à-vis the unshakeable ethics of a few strong-willed individuals.” (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
